Ospi Venice

The food is great, especially the calamari and kale salad. Maybe an indoor seating would be better next time. We were able to park at the beach parking right behind the restaurant for $5 at 7:30pm on Friday until 10pm.

This place blows my mind every time I come here! The food is INCREDIBLE! There’s a little station where you can watch the staff making the noodles from scratch. Do not skip on the crispy provolone!!Hands down my favorite Italian restaurant in LA. Service is always top notch! Maria was our server this last time and was so friendly and funny! 10/10 recommend Ospi.

We had a lovely dinner tonight. We started with the ricotta appetizer. For dinner I had the Malloreddus and my daughter had the Spicy Rigatoni (yes it’s spicy)They were both very good. We finished with the Nutella Mousse. It was outstanding! The atmosphere as great. We could see the very talented person making the home made pasta. Our server Andrey was terrific. Very friendly and gave us a very nice overview of the menu. We would certainly go back.

We enjoy some wonderful handmade pasta. Made right behind the glass from us in the restaurant. The waiter was kind and had helpful suggestion to best enjoy our meal. Dessert we great, and cocktails to start. Kale salad and meat balls as apps were tasty.

Yowza! Talk about great! The only negative is parking. But, for $15, you can have your car valeted directly across the street from the restaurant. If you are going in for your first visit, I hope you get Kaya as your server/encyclopedia of food/restaurant knowledge. We were greeted with her energetic and positive personality and it was just the start of an amazing dining experience. If you can not eat for a couple of days before, it might do you good so you can order appetizers and a few entrées. We, unfortunately, had lunch earlier in the day so we only ordered three entrées. Each, in its own way, was delicious . Take your time and read the entire menu. If you have food allergies or are craving a specific food, talk with your server. I hope you have as great of a meal and experience as us and...enjoy!!!

We had our first visit to Ospi Venice and were absolutely delighted. The local Italian cuisine was bursting with flavor—every dish was delicious. The service was attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere had that perfect blend of charm and energy. A fantastic dining experience all around.

Spicy rigatoni was highly recommended and with good reason. Al dente, creamy sweet and flavorful sauce made it my favorite dish. Margarita pizza was good, your standard margarita. Crust was a little too chewy for me but that’s just personal preference.

Perfection. We did not have reservations, but we were immediately sat at the bar and welcomed by Steven, a friendly and fantastic bartender. We informed him 2/3 guests were gluten-free and asked for his recommendations. There were so many great options, we had a hard time narrowing it down. He ended up telling us that he had us covered and made the selections for us. Could not have been more than perfect! The kale salad was absolutely delicious; the Tonnarelli and Malloreddus pastas did not disappoint. They make homemade pasta fresh every night. Service throughout the night was spot on. The GM, I believe his name was Burt, was super friendly and added a special touch to our dining experience. Highly recommend.
